Clients' Experience

Donnella uses her personal warmth and extensive knowledge about the body to teach and guide students through movement experiences that lead to greater integration and body knowing.  For me this has translated in more ease and delight in my movement and my being. As a cyclist, I use what I learn in her classes constantly to help with strength building, and connecting through my core. As a human being I use what I learn in my personal interactions and professional development. Kate

I have enjoyed moving with Donnella for the past 15 years and have never tired of her fresh approach to keep me moving.  She challenges me to move just past my comfort zone physically and mentally.  I sometimes think I can't do that, but her guidance always makes it easier than I imagine.  It also gives me a great foundation for any other movement class I've added to my workout.  Karen
